This has worked fine for a long time as far as I know. But today downloading an https page as pdf misses all styles. Somehow the styles (plus presumably any images) cannot be loaded.

It may be due to this stackoverflow question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26529863/how-do-i-configure-wkhtmltopdf-to-request-https-pages-by-url-not-ip-on-windows-8

Possibly a recent openssl update on the server causes this, but that is a guess.

It does not matter whether wkhtmltopdf itself is running on the server that hosts the https website, or locally on my laptop. This gets executed:

parts/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf --disable-javascript --toc-header-text Inhoudsopgave --margin-right 10 --margin-left 10 --margin-bottom 10 --margin-top 10 --print-media-type file:///tempfile.html /tmp/tempfile.pdf

Any https links in tempfile.html cannot be loaded. When I replace https with http, it works just fine:

cat tempfile.html | sed "s/https/http/g" > newfile.html

I tried just now with running wkhtmltopdf on https://google.com, but that looks fine. So there may be something wrongly configured on the server.

Workaround that I did on the server to fix it: I edited transforms/wk.py and in the html_to_pdf function I added a line source = source.replace('https://', 'http://'). (Yes, I did that by editing the collective.sendaspdf distribution on the server. I am bad.)
